What isnt his style of hockey? not only has he played well here already but we will have a new coach, so a new style.
Has he? ive seen streaks here and there but no i havent noticed.
I just see a declining goal scorer with decling numbers basically since his first 2 seasons
He's 25 , overpayed and struggling to even be a consistent Goal Scorer now
He can play Elite hockey he just doesnt do it shift to shift or day to day
I compare him to Kotkanemi as he might live up to his potential some day
It just wont be here in this system or else it woulda showed signs already
TBH like WPG likes to play a physical game limiting the times they chase the puck.
MTL is all Speed and Transition hockey. Or D handle most of the rough stuff down low infront of our Goalie.
Outside that there's few Pezzetta's in the line up and plenty of Newhook's
CBJ can keep him 100% but you gotta do something as Johnny Hockey and Laine went south in hopes of Winning im sure.
I know not all teams are a great fit for players they sign so it happens and he's just as likely to continue that decline here too
Each year he scores a little less and thats an issue when he's defined by his offense leagely
We all got out Josh Andersons though
Guys we love even when they decline as we have faith they'll turn it around
